my 2013 christmas wish list

my favorite things, cars, toys, toy cars

christmas is right around the corner + while the grown ups, especially our parents busied themselves in preparation for that day, it will be most fun for us to make our christmas wish list as early as now, so we can tell our mums + dads, as well as our other loved ones, what exactly do we love to receive for christmas.

we brought home a catalog of a local toy store a few months back + i have been browsing it every time i find the chance since then. there are just too many cool + wonderful toys to choose from + sometimes i wish i can have everything i want in it!

of course, i can only request for a couple of toys from my parents so i really need to choose very carefully. one of the toys at the top of my list will have to be this remote control lightning mcqueen car! it would be awesome to play with a lightning that actually runs + i bet i will have such a great time playing with it!

i would also love to have one or two new diecast cars to add to my little collection. i would really love to have fillmore + sally, hopefully we can still find some at the local toy stores. i would also love to have doc hudson + holly shiftwell! an ironman mask or a harry potter lego set will also be cool addition to my collection of toys!

mum was browsing online the other day + we saw this exciting chasin cheeky toy. he’s a purple monkey that moves + shakes. you can even play with him by tossing him bananas! i bet it would also be fun to play with him at home so i wouldn’t mind getting one of these for christmas, too! 🙂

how about you, have you thought of your christmas wishlist yet? do share some of the items on your list in a comment below 🙂

cars 2 doubledecker bus, an early birthday present!

 cars, toy cars, my favorite thing, toys, collections, gifts

mum knows how much i love lightning mcqueen + his gang. we are actually collecting these guys + so far i’ve got about 9 of them. i am very happy to have a brand new addition to my collection + this time mum got me this big cars 2 double decker bus. it doubles as a transporter for the little diecast + a home for them, too, when i am not playing with them. it can accommodate 7 cars, but it was a good thing guido is so tiny he can easily share a spot with his good pal, luigi! 😀 the bigger diecast red also won’t fit, so i just let him sit on the open air top whenever we are playing.

this toy is not much like the other cars in my collection since it is made of plastic. mum always reminds me to be careful with it + refrain from dropping it as it might get broken easily, but so far, after a couple of bumps + falls, it is still in one piece, so i have to say it is made of good quality plastic! i will just be mindful not to drop it too often, though! 🙂

if you are a fan of the movie, you will see the doubledecker bus in action when the world grand prix had its final leg in london, they tower over other cars in the streets of this lovely city. i actually dream of riding a real doubledecker bus one day! 🙂

mum said this is a very advanced birthday gift! mum really knows what i like, i simply love it. can you tell from the photo? 😉

n is for my new die cast toy car

my favorite things, cars, toys, toy cars

mum + i went to the mall 2 sundays ago + look what mum got me! it is a new die cast car to add to my growing collection of cars from the disney film, cars. this right here is sarge. if you are a fan of the film + its sequel, you will notice that sarge is often seen with the hippie car, fillmore. he runs the sarge’s surplus hut and is a world war II veteran.

here are a few more interesting facts about sarge we found on pixar wiki:

  1. his license plate reads 41WW2, which is a reference to world war II + the year when the us got in the war, 1941
  2. there are 3 versions of sarge released in the cars die-cast line: a regular version, a pit crew version {which is what i got} + a version where he is shown saluting the flag
  3. he is modeled after the famous willys mb jeep
  4. in one of the scene in the first film, sage says to next-door neighbor, fillmore “take a car wash, hippie! sounds familiar, that’s because another famous cartoon character used it, too, carl fredricksen in one of my fave films, up!

well, i hope you enjoy those tidbits of info about sarge. now, if you will excuse me, it is time to play with him + the rest of the gang! hopefully we can have fillmore in the group real soon! 🙂
